    Don't buy a notebook with GeForce 8000 M Series. It's a ticking bomb. The card has soldering defect which will melt in just over a year. Avoid!

    EDIT: OK, I think you already bought one but yeach Blu-ray should work with your system.

    Yes, I had this notebook already, trying to find what internal blu-ray drive will work.

    pretty much any ATAPI Blu-ray drive will work. I think Sony, Panasonic and Pioneer make notebook blu-ray drives.
